Episode Title:
Apple Pie and Smiles
Episode Description:
The bandits are restrained in the barn. For political reasons they are to be handed over to Countess Brioche of Retes territory where the bandits came from, so the Countess can retain her reputation by claiming she captured the bandits, since it was her responsibility in the first place. Pastry’s friends Marc and Lumi are awarded swords taken from the bandits and assigned as Pastry’s future lieutenants. Curious about the bandits, Marc and Lumi sneak into the barn where the bandit leader tricks Marc into coming too close, steals back his sword, stabs Lumi and escapes with Marc as a hostage. Pastry follows after them and manages to rescue Marc while the bandit escapes. Pastry is forced to admit to Casserole they only survived thanks to having secretly replicated Casserole’s Teleportation magic onto himself. Casserole swears Pastry to secrecy; if it was revealed Pastry can replicate every magic spell in existence, powerful people would try turning him into a living weapon. Marc apologizes to Lumi for getting her hurt and Pastry bakes a Bonka (apple) pie to celebrate. Lumi’s father Glacage suggests that Marc should properly atone his mistake by marrying Lumi, and Lumi nonchalantly agrees, leaving Marc embarrassed about being engaged to be married to Lumi.
